WIP Update - The Scourge | Tai Ương

The hungry ghost in our Demo got lots of feedback so we decided to remake the animation. Also, stamina now has been added into ‘The Scourge’. Our team now (may) become running simulation instead of walking simulation.

Hello Kittenes!

Point Shop and Steam Trading Cards finally available for ːSushi_redːCatgirls From My Sweet DreamːSushi_redː! Animated backgrounds, Profile avatars, Mini backgrounds and Emoji are ready for you now!

I tried so long and hard to make beautiful and cute steam items. I’m very glad that they are finally released on Steam and available to all players.

Animated avatars:


Animated backgrounds:


Some animated backgrounds have a problem with graphical artifacts. It is unknown how this happened, when encoding the quality was good, but in Steam the backgrounds look low quality. I will try to find the problem and fix it so that the animated backgrounds look as beautiful as intended ːfuhrer_angryː

Nevertheless, the animated avatars turned out very cute ːlightning_yellowː

New Point Shop Items and Trading Cards are also available in ☪️TSUNDERE MILFIN☪️ and ːSuccrucifixːMy Cute SuccubusːSuccrucifixː

We are striving to improve our game and share new updates with you as quickly as possible. Now, you can download our playtest version of DRAKE directly from the Beta branch of the Demo in your library. To access beta-brunch add the Demo version to your library.



Then click on "Properties" in the library page of the game



Select "Beta versions," and in the "Beta Testing" dropdown menu, choose the "playtest - New Updates Testing" branch. After that, the game will download the necessary patch.



You'll know you're on the right branch if you see the [playtest] label next to the demo name.




In patch 0.1.4, we've improved the interaction with the graphical API, eliminating visual glitches during loading, minimizing, and maximizing the game, fixing crashes during resolution changes and quality settings adjustments. This should enhance the overall smoothness of the game.

We've also refined gamepad control in the game menu and corrected the display of interface elements at non-standard resolutions, such as on the Steam Deck.

Patch 0.1.4 is available to everyone who has added Drake Playtest to their library.




They have helped us identify issues that we couldn't detect on our own.

We are currently working on improving artificial intelligence and fixing issues related to the movement of the bugs and character, such as falling through floors, doors, and walls, as well as AI navigation problems. This is a technically challenging task. Last year, we began transitioning AI components to an asynchronous architecture and aim to complete this transition. This will allow us to fix many errors, speed up scene loading, and avoid crashes. It will help us to create a stable foundation for developing an exciting combat system.

Next, we plan to enhance the inventory, add new types of weapons, and improve interactions with collectible items. We have already made significant progress in this direction and look forward to showing you these updates.

After completing the core code, we will focus on the most exciting aspects: progression, character creation screen, companions, and other features.




There, you can report problems or make suggestions in the "Feedback Forum" section and vote for other players' proposals.

Wishlist Drake on Steam, it helps us a lot and see you, space cowboys!

Honestly, we haven’t had in plan adding healthbars in Chaos on Wheels, but as many of you requested and suggested it, we decided to implement it. To make it more interesting, we added it as a equipment. Similar to the radar, Health Scanner is available to purchase in Market and Black Market as a “monthly” subscription. There are 4 main types of Health Scanners, each with two subcategories (Basic, Premium). Each type is defined by scanning radius, so we have Local, 4G, MASA, and StarX. Basic Health Scanner is showing health of only basic enemies, depending on the Game Mode, but Premium Health Scanner shows it all.


Something we had in the previous version but it lacked some polish, so we decided to make it in this one. Car damage effects work simply, when the car gets damaged it gets scratched, and when it gets damaged enough, it starts to smoke from under the hood. And when a car gets really damaged, fire on the hood catches on. So watch out for the smoke, on you and on the others 😉


We know we like to name our cars with our custom names, and we would like to give that option to you too. Head out to Chaos Career and name your car anyway you want.


One of the issues with the AI was that they sometimes spam those damn Homing Missiles, but luckily that has come to an end. We rebalanced the usage of Homing Missiles and now bots won’t spam them.


As we mentioned some of the significant features above, don’t worry we have dome many minors, and of course some game balancing.

We’re currently working on the next big milestone, the “Immersion update”, so stay tuned and happy destroying! 🔥

We're excited to announce the release of patch 0.15.00, focusing on enriching gameplay with new content. This update is all about giving players more options to create unique builds and gameplay strategies.

Experience the Barbarian's latest feat, "Spiral Carnage." Armed with blades from the Lancer & Warrior, the Barbarian executes the Blunt Gyro maneuver, hurling two spiraling blades that inflict damage to enemies in their path and carve a route of devastation.

• Formation Boost: Enhances the effects of formation buffs.
  
• Combo Master: Reduces the energy cost of combo skills.
  
• Fast Hands: Increases the frequency of interval-based synergies.

• New Combo Skill: Spiral Carnage.
  
• Archer: 3 new synergies.
  
• Lancer: 3 new synergies.
  
• Priest: 1 new synergy.
  
• Holy Knight: 1 new synergy.
  
• Fire Mage: 2 new synergies.
  
• Barbarian: 2 new synergies.
  
• Adjustments to various existing synergies.

We're eager for you to try out these new additions and enhancements. Your feedback is always welcome, as it helps us continue to improve and expand Fellowship. Share your experiences and ideas with us on our Discord and through our community channels.

Happy adventuring,
The Fellowship Team

Make sure to update your game everyone and have a good one!

This is a minor update with some important changes. The biggest is that GrandPrizeBigFuzz has remastered the Vactics soundtrack and it somehow sounds even more awesome than before. Turn it up while you are fighting your way through the city.



I also wanted to acknowledge the players who submitted bug reports regarding the settings menu not working. It was a weird bug for the me that took a long time to diagnose and a short time to fix. I got the fix in yesterday and worked overtime to get this update out so that all players can experience the game without this issue. I apologise that it made it into the game and thank you for your patience.

To those who are new, with each update I make the following requests:

1. If you are enjoy the game please leave a Steam review. They really help me and help Steam inform people that Vactics is a game others could enjoy as well. I would love to see that number go up.
   
2. Tell a friend and tell some strangers. Word of mouth is the main way people can find Vactics. Please share widely and let me know when you do too.

Thank you as always for playing Vactics.

Cheers,
Gerard / The Lemur Conspiracy

Release: #1.200.5505

• Music - a new remastered version of the Vactics soundtrack by GrandPrizeBigFuzz.

• Fixed bug where settings menu would not open. Thank you to those players who reported the issue.

Greetings, Commanders and newcomers!

Small hotfix, looks like the native sockets in LNL are causing problems, so we're disabling them for now.

Compatible with previous, though update recommended to avoid networking issues.

- Disabled native sockets in the new LNL library
-- This should fix direct IPv6 connections not working (reported by @bredo, @ocelot342, @canadian_redz, issue #1228)
